[GNC] Credit note posting to an expense account (Adrien Monteleone)

[Adrien Monteleone]

David, sorry, you are correct. I'm not sure what I was thinking.

Create a Liability account for this purpose. The member is spending on 
the Club's behalf and thus the Club 'owes' the member. I have one called 
'Reimbursable Expenditures'

Make a transaction to record the expense:

Dr. Expense
Cr. Reimbursable Expenditures

Raise a credit note to reduce the Liability and reduce AR. (what the 
member owes)

That should result in:

Dr. Reimbursable Expenditures
Cr. AR

A 'customer' report should then reflect the net owed by the member. (or 
by the club if the expense was in excess of dues)

Regards,
Adrien
